Testing approach
This website was last tested on 15 January 2026 using a mix of manual and automated methods (for example: keyboard-only navigation, screen reader testing with NVDA/JAWS/VoiceOver, colour contrast analysis, mobile gestures, and automated checks). We prioritised a representative sample of page templates, high‑traffic pages, and user journeys. Our testing and statement structure are based on the GOV.UK model and sample accessibility statements.

This site is going to undergo audits during Private and Public Beta stages and conformance to WCAG 2.2 AA across its lifecycle, as per UK guidance recommendation. [gov.uk]
